Top 15 Golf Courses to Play This Fall

But if you push them a little further with that question, they’ll undoubtedly tell you that golfing in the fall is the best time of the season.

The scenery is changing colors, the temperatures are brisk (allowing you to finally break out that new windbreaker!) and a tasty beverage at the 19th is always a great ending to a round of golf.

Here are our top 15 golf courses to hit this fall.

1. Maroon Creek Club: Aspen, Colorado

This members-only club shows off what is so fascinating about Aspen: Dramatic ski trails down magnificent Rocky Mountains, the occasional reservoir that might trap your golf ball and beautiful Aspen trees.

During the fall, the Aspens transform from green beauties to red and orange wonders, glowing in the sky.

2. The Catskill Golf Club, Catskill, New York

It’s no secret that the Catskills region is one of the country’s most desirable locations to visit in the fall.

The winding roads take drivers through some of the most glorious reds, oranges and yellows you’ll ever witness on the bordering trees.

The Catskill Golf Club is a semi-private club which has been open for play since 1927.

The nine-hole design (alternating tees for a full round of 18) is home to an annual Pro-Am event.

And during the fall, nothing is more relaxing than teeing off in one of the most beautiful places on earth.

The scenery of the Columbia River Gorge is certainly beautiful year-round, but it’s extra special in autumn.

The endless gorge flares up with bright oranges and yellows, making it one of America’s top drives along the Columbia River Highway.

Views of that Gorge are visible from Beacon Rock Golf Course in Bonneville, Washington, which has offered a great golf atmosphere for more than 40 years.

Considered a locally-loved course, this 18-hole course is nestled right in the magic of the Columbia River Gorge.

4. Club de golf Cowansville: Eastern Townships, Quebec, Canada

Amid massive maple and coniferous woods and highlighted by an impressive mountain range, this golf club in the Eastern Townships of Quebec offers a peaceful golfing experience during the fall season.

And only 45 minutes from Montreal, you could truly make a great vacation that involves this 72-hole course.

5. Sequoyah National Golf Club: Whittier, North Carolina

Located in the heart of the Great Smoky Mountains, this par 72-championship course is smack dab in the middle of one of America’s top destinations for fall foliage.

Because it has great views of Great Smoky Mountains National Park, you’ll not only be able to take in the breathtaking colors of fall in this beautiful region, but also enjoy a round of 18 on a challenging and dynamic course.

This Roger Null-designed course is a challenging task, no matter your level of golf experience.

Thankfully, you have the surrounding hills of the Auglaize River Valley as the perfect backdrop.

So if you hit the occasional double-bogey, don’t worry.

It’s absolutely beautiful here.

Word of advice, however.

People understand the beauty of this course and tee times can be tough to come across.
